Doctor Who Series 8: All Episode Titles Revealed

It’s finally that time, that wonderful moment each year where we get to speculate if the upcoming season of Doctor Who will be better than the last or the worst of all time. With newcomer Peter Capaldi, anything can happen, but here’s hoping it’ll blow everyone out of the water. With less than a week away from the premiere of the first episode, Deep Breath, the BBC have unveiled the titles for each upcoming episode.

Most of it shouldn’t come as any surprise to those who’ve been following rumors or set reports, as most of the title names have been leaked in one form or another. The entirety of the first five scripts has already been leaked. Some of the new titles look promising. Not sure about Mummy on the Orient Express though…

1. Deep Breath
Written by Steven Moffat.
Directed by Ben Wheatley.

2. Into the Dalek
Written by Phil Ford (Waters of Mars) and Steven Moffat.
Directed by Ben Wheatley.
Introducing Samuel Anderson as Danny Pink.

I think I’m most curious about “The Caretaker” – caretaker of what? And is there significance to that “the”? Is he/she, like the Doctor, “the definite article”? Also “Mummy on the Orient Express”, which could turn out to be a colourful 1920s romp, or dismal: Who knows!

Nerves and hope… as usual for me. Always hopeful, especially this year with Peter Capaldi bringing all manner of newness surely… but nervous that I might be let down in the end. Only way to find out is to watch, and I will be watching!

Interesting to see so many episodes so-written by Moffat, I wonder if there’s a reason for that?
Also of interest: episode one’s titled “Deep Breath”, episode eleven’s titled “Deep Water”. There’s definitely a connection there.
Finally: twelve episodes? This could be a coincidence, but then it might not…
